Bulk

Springfield Food Coop’s Bulk Department will make an avid food explorer and adventurer out of you! You will find tempting granola & snacks … A great selection of nuts, grains, legumes, and baking supplies… Delicious dried papaya, mango, bananas, cranberries, raisins, dates and more… Fresh & fragrant herbs and spices… And delightful candies, coffee, and tea… You can fill your reusable containers or use a bag from the coop. We offer over 350 bulk items and many are organic!

Buying in bulk is easy on your wallet – when you buy in bulk you have the choice to purchase as little or as much as you need, which is great for recipes and stretching your food budget.

Buying in bulk is also easy on the environment – packaging contributes to higher food costs and is one the largest sources of solid waste in our country. By using your own containers in the Bulk Department, you are reducing post-consumer waste and your shopping bills!

We are here to help you find what you need and want to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. Feel free to ask a staff member any and all of your questions.

Tips for Shopping in the Bulk Department

Grab a bag and write the PLU# number of the product you’d like on a sticker or write the PLU# number directly on the bag. Recording the PLU number of a bulk product helps the cashier ring you up quickly.

We encourage shoppers to bring their own empty jars or containers to fill with bulk items. Just be sure to weigh your container at the registers and record the starting weight prior to filling it. This way you won’t be charged for the weight of your container at the register.

Please use a separate bag for each item (even those that are the same price).
